Master of the Holy Blood - The Descent from the Cross - fine art print

Additional specifications by the museum's website (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The Master of the Holy Blood, an uninventive and repetitive artist who appears to have been trained in Antwerp and to have settled in Bruges, takes his name from a Lamentation altarpiece in the Heilig Bloedmuseum, Bruges. The center panel of the present work is a late reflection of a lost but often copied Descent from the Cross by Rogier van der Weyden. To this essentially fifteenth-century composition have been added wings with individual saints that show the influence of the early-sixteenth-century Antwerp painter, Quentin Massys. There is in-painting along several vertical splits and joins which had separated, particularly in the center panel.
